About our hog roast for events in Heaverham
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We are often asked to cater small festivals and charity fundraisers, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
A fête near Heaverham might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A safe distance from other traders
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
- Coleslaw

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Balance the food line-up
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in Heaverham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Should I cook it myself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
